Back-to-School List [SURVEY]

What tops your kid’s back-to-school list? Here’s a hint — it’s probably not new clothes. More than 40% of kids between 8 and 18 years old would rather have a new smartphone, laptop or tablet. That’s way off what parents think their kids want with 43% thinking it’s a new wardrobe.

And in looking at my kid’s “supply list,” I don’t see quantities for certain items that are listed. C’mon…how many pens, pencils, erasers, notebooks, etc. would you like me to get?

Speaking of “list items,” what’s the strangest thing on your required back-to-school shopping list? What’s impossible to find?
